Harry Roche Constellation: Casino Royale & Other Hip Sounds (CBS) [alternate issue of ‘In Orbit’ LP, featuring nice title cut and superb suave jazz of ‘Pad Of The Mountain King’]
Love Strings Of Mort Garson: Love Sounds (Liberty) [soundtrack-style easy-listening, with Love Unlimited feelÂ…]
Bobbie Gentry: Touch ‘em With Love (Capitol) [you wait ages to find one, then two come along at once! Great LP…]
Sam Samudio: Sam: Hard & Heavy (Atlantic) [late-60s biker-soul-blues-rock stuff from onetime Sam The Sham]
